...

    Please note, that from now on we will only officially support versions OTRS 4 and OTRS 5 and following versions.

    What’s New

    • Updated translations, thanks to all translators.
    • Improved the support data collection to work without an internal web request.

    Important for Upgrading

    • From a previous version of OTRS 5:
      • Make sure you run bin/otrs.Console.pl Maint::Config::Rebuild after the upgrade so that the configuration is refreshed. Otherwise, the system may not work.
      • If you upgrade from OTRS 5 Patch Level 2 or earlier, please run scripts/DBUpdate-to-5.pl once during the upgrade to fix possible issues with dysfunctional notification tags.
      • If you upgrade from OTRS 5 Beta 5 or earlier, you should manually update all ticket notifications that are set to be shown in agent preferences. In the ticket notification management admin screen for each notification, scroll down to “Notification Methods” and check the “Send by default” checkbox from the “Email” section on each notification.
        • Background information: “Send by default” is a new feature introduced in OTRS 5 RC1 that adds a new layer of control to administrators to decide if an enabled notification method is used by default or not if an agent has not directly specified this preference. This option is now set by default on new systems or upgrades.
    • From OTRS 4.x: Please consult our admin manual for detailed instructions.
